A capsule wardrobe, what should we be aiming for?

12/4/2016

1 Comment

 
It is a dream of mine, to have a beautiful, streamlined wardrobe, where everything can mix and match and I never have a day where I think ‘I don’t know what to wear’, but I suspect this will continue to be a dream for some time to come.
 
But I am striving towards it!  When I was away in Broadway recently I picked up a book called ‘Style Forever’ by Alyson Walsh (also a blogger at That’s Not My Age).  I loved her approach to ‘Generation Fab’ …. fifty and beyond.  She says we are FABsters …. we live longer, we stay fit, we look after ourselves and we care about our appearance.
“There is something really attractive about a woman who is confident about her age and style”
In the book she has a list of Style Basics that she recommends as a perfect basis for a capsule wardrobe:

  • Comfy shoes
  • Lovely blue shirt (LBS)
  • Black trousers
  • Outstanding coat
  • Everyday denim jeans
  • Silk blouse
  • Kick-ass jacket
  • Essential grey top (t-shirt, sweatshirt, cashmere)
  • Tunic dress
  • Breton top
  • Jumpsuit
 
I can see how each one can work with the other and then you can build on the basics as you go along.
 
I will be using this list as I progress my blogging journey and my own wardrobe into my fifties.  I will share with you how I get along and if I need to add any of my own basics to this list. ​

Tom Corson-Knowles, the author who founded Bestseller Ranking Pro, spent six long years trying to get a traditional publishing deal (and failed miserably). He finally decided to self publish his first book on Kindle in February, 2012.

That one decision changed his life (and the lives of the more than 30,000 authors he's since taught how to write, publish and market their books professionally).

Just twelve months after self publishing his first book, Tom had his first $12,000+ month from Kindle ebook royalties alone.

In Bestseller Ranking Pro, Tom will share with you his step-by-step system for becoming a bestselling author.

These strategies have also helped Tom and his private publishing clients create more than sixty-seven #1 Amazon bestselling books and counting.

If you're going to write, publish or promote a book this year, you need to see this:
